EP 16 The Bobby D and Mikey D Experience: Guns, Gold Medals, and Natural Disasters
In their latest podcast episode, Bobby and Mikey D dive into a wide range of topics that showcase their signature conversational style and witty observations about life’s unexpected adventures. The episode begins with Bobby sharing his recent experience at Nova Tactical, a shooting range where he tried his hand at firearms training similar to what Keanu Reeves underwent for his role in the John Wick films. Bobby humorously describes shooting a Beretta, a Glock, and a sniper rifle, noting that he wasn’t as bad as he expected. The real surprise came when they observed a young teenage girl at the range demonstrating remarkable skill with a sniper rifle, impressing even the instructors who admitted they couldn’t shoot as well as she could.
The conversation naturally flows into a discussion about action movies, with the hosts expressing their surprise about rumors of a fifth John Wick film and debating the merits of various racing movies like Ford v Ferrari, Gran Turismo, and the new Brad Pitt F1 film. They reflect on how electric vehicles have changed the racing landscape, mentioning a viral video of a Kia EV beating a Ferrari in a quarter-mile race, and another showing a Tesla Cybertruck pulling a Porsche on a trailer while simultaneously racing and beating another Porsche. These technological advancements prompt a half-serious discussion about Elon Musk’s grand vision, with Bobby suggesting that all of Musk’s seemingly disparate ventures—from electric vehicles to the Boring Company to SpaceX—are part of a master plan to eventually colonize Mars.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to celebrating Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh’s incredible Olympic performance, where at just 18 years old she dominated the competition, winning four gold medals and one bronze. The hosts marvel at her extraordinary talent, noting how in some races she was beating competitors by three to four body lengths. They discuss how she’s now planning to train with Michael Phelps’ former coach to prepare for future competitions, suggesting she has many more years of Olympic success ahead of her.
The conversation takes a more serious turn when the hosts discuss earthquakes and tsunamis, with Mikey sharing his experiences living in New Zealand for eight years where earthquakes were a common occurrence. He describes how residents eventually become somewhat desensitized to smaller quakes, though he recounts a particularly strong 6.2 magnitude earthquake that made even experienced residents nervous. They discuss the recent powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia that triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, including Hawaii, and reflect on the devastating power of these natural disasters.
Perhaps the most valuable takeaway from the episode comes near the end when Bobby emphasizes the critical importance of physical movement for longevity and health. He makes the striking claim that even individuals with unhealthy habits like smoking two packs of cigarettes daily or eating poor diets will live longer if they simply walk regularly. The hosts encourage listeners to incorporate more movement into their daily routines, noting that it doesn’t require intensive gym workouts—just consistent, daily walking can make a tremendous difference to overall health and lifespan. This practical health advice, delivered in their characteristic casual style, offers listeners a simple but potentially life-changing practice they can implement immediately.
